Living abroad and need to sell a flat in Georgia, accept an inheritance or run a court case? You don't have to travel — a properly drafted power of attorney is enough.
Three ways
- At a Georgian consulate — the consul certifies the power of attorney and it is valid in Georgia without further certification
- At a local notary — then, depending on the country, it needs an apostille or consular legalisation (documents from some countries need neither) and, in Georgia, a certified Georgian translation
- Online with a notary in Georgia — if you have a Georgian passport: by video call, with two witnesses present at the notary's office
What the power of attorney should say
- Full details of both parties — names and ID or passport numbers
- Specific powers: for example, which property (by cadastral code) to sell, at what price and into whose account the money is paid
- For court — which case and which powers: filing a claim, settling, appealing
- How long it is valid and whether the representative may delegate the powers to someone else
Why a "general" power of attorney is risky
A very broad power of attorney lets the representative deal with almost all your property. It is safer to give one for a specific matter and a reasonable period. You can revoke a power of attorney at any time — and you should notify both the representative and third parties.
